COAS tax returns’ leak: Some actors traced: Dar

Finance Minister Ishaq Dar stated on Tuesday that he has received the interim report related to the leak of army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa’s income tax records, and claimed that some people involved in the act have been traced. In an interview to a TV channel, Dar said, “I have seen the interim report. I hope to receive the final report today,” Dar told the host during Tuesday’s show. The finance czar said that one person involved in the leak is from Lahore and another from Rawalpindi. However, he added that there is a possibility that some of the individuals involved may have the authorisation to look at the income tax records as there is a “circle” in Rawalpindi where assessments take place. “These people are authorised to access [data] for their assessment,” said Dar.
